Special Books and Learning Journals


Each child in the Early Years will be given a special book and an online learning journal to record all of their achievements during their time at Mission Grove. The books are full of photographs, observations and children’s art.


We value parents input and you will be given many opportunities to share your child’s achievements at home with us and these will be added to the book.


Quote from a parent about special books


“Wow! It’s beautiful! It is very creative and something we can keep forever. I


love to keep memories like this.” Parent


“The special book is amazing! It’s lovely to see the progress he has made and I’m glad we’ve got something to look back at in the future.” Parent


The books are a great visual record of a child’s progress throughout their time with us. Furthermore you will be given a personal login for your child’s online journal; this will allow you to upload photos and comments to share with the staff.


In the 2 year olds and Nursery each child is allocated a ‘Key Worker’ and this is the person who will monitor their progress, keep the ‘Special Book’ and Journal up-to-date and write the end of year report. The children are given time to look through the books with their Key Worker to show them how much they have achieved and talk about some of their favourite moments.


Attendance


Good attendance is an essential part of your child’s education and social development.


Your child should attend every day unless they are ill. If you are not sure then bring your child in as we will call you if we feel they need to go home. If your child is going to be absent, please inform the office as soon as possible on 02085320487.


Punctuality


To ensure that your child settles and feels confident and secure here at Mission Grove it is essential that they are here for the beginning of every session.


We expect all children to be brought and picked up by an adult that is known to the school. If there is someone different collecting your child please ensure that we have been informed and that they bring some photo ID with them.
